   NP, thanks :)

   Yes...  The problem here is that they've implemented a interpolation   
   resampling algorithm in MMX without a "pure code" equivalent.  So, when I turn   
   off MMX, I lose the interpolation.   
      
   The SID is so "gritty" anyway that it hardly makes any difference but it is a   
   shame.   
      
   Oh and yes, there is no difference for the MIDI output.  Its just the WAV   
   output and play-back that's affected.  The MMX code is in the ReSID library,   
   not in the applications.   
      
   BTW, I'm in the process of a code clean-up.  Ian didn't get back to me "today"   
   so no further progress on the MacOS port.  Hopefully he'll be able to work on   
   it "tomorrow" (we're in different time zones).
